Seabourn’s Expedition Teams include hand-picked naturalists, archaeologists, photographers, and expedition experts.

These fascinating, accomplished experts are part of the Seabourn Conversations program, providing your clients’ in-depth insights into the history, ecology and culture of the places they visit. In addition, the team chronicles their adventures with stories and photos via Seabourn’s Ventures Tracker.

Members of the team include:

With a foundation in biology, Iggy has led the Ventures by Seabourn team throughout Northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland. The remaining months of the year he can be found leading expeditions in the Amazon, Antarctica, Australia and New Zealand.

For several years she was curator of Archaeology for Glasgow Museums, with work including coordinating a loan of Viking material for the highly successful Smithsonian exhibition Vikings: North Atlantic Saga, seen by several million visitors in the U.S.

Joe Cockram, Lecturer — A birdwatcher from age seven, Joe left home to work as a warden on nature reserves as soon as he was legally able. His interest in seabirds later led him to some of the most important nesting colonies on remote headlands and islands in Northern Europe. Now a shipboard ornithologist, Joe cruises the world using his knowledge and passion to help others experience and appreciate the incredible variety of species found around the continents.
